The Shining: Bathrooms Part 3a

The scene with Jack and Grady in the bathroom is nearly 6 minutes long…

*Way too many gifs, Clicky… I’m gonna have to be cannier about how how I present this…*

*… and careful with the hugging, sweetie*

Okay, let’s familiarize ourselves with the scene in question.

Unlike, the bathroom scenes in Part 1 and Part 2, the Ballroom Bathroom scene (on the descent from the ‘shining’ peak, at the centre of the Forwards/\Backwards version) has dialogue in both directions. And it spans not one but three scenes on the ascent. But which ones?

“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. - J Robert Oppenheimer.
